Hi @peterthim,

sorry for the inconvenience created here. We had an issue with v9.x of our task as we upgraded it to a later version of the Azure Pipelines libraries, which were only fully compatible with newer agent versions. Unfortunately, when we released the first version 9.x, we forgot to update the minimum required agent version and fixed that with the latest release. We were a little torn between doing this as part of a patch/minor update and doing a major version upgrade, even though the functionality of the task hadn't really changed (in fact, we just fixed an issue). In the end, we decided to go for a patch/minor version change.

To fix the issue, you must upgrade your agent version to a version greater than or equal 2.206.1. This should happen automatically for customers using Azure DevOps Services and having agents that can access the internet. For on-premises servers, you can either manually install a newer agent from https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent or follow the instructions given here. My recommendation would be upgrading to an agent version 3.x, as the 2.x agents are still using the outdated .NET Core 3.x and are not receiving any security updates anymore. Please read this information to ensure that your agent machines have compatible operating systems installed.

If you cannot upgrade the agent (or put the new agent version onto the server for auto-upgrades) quickly enough, I recommend fixing the task version to 9.1.0 in yaml by giving the full version like this:

...
  - task: BuildQualityChecks@9.1.0
    inputs:
      ...

Thanks for the fast input Workaround worked and upgrading to the latest agent actually worked to so we are opting for that.

Great, thank you for confirming that you are unblocked now. Upgrading the agents is definitely the best option.

I'm closing the issue now, but feel free to open another one or post a new comment in the closed one if you need additional help.
